Sloooow cooked home cookin!

On friday last week I attempted a first for me...

I cooked my FIRST pot roast.

Now I know this doesn't sound like much, but to me ...This. Is. HUGE.

Being not much of a meat eater myself.. I don't have a lot to go on.. 
and when it comes to seeing meat raw.. looking slightly like an animal still..  

I lose my want to eat. 

 

Yes, you heard correct, this fatkid will LEAVE THE TABLE.

So if eating it can be a big deal,

you can see how cooking it could be a little worse...

But I'm working on that. 

So comes the Pot Roast.

Simple. Affordable.

DELICIOUS.

(& extremly hard to screw up!)

Here's what you will need:

•  One 5 quart crock pot
• One 4-5 lb roast
• 2.5 cans of water
• One pk Brown Gravy mix
• One pk Onion soup/dip mix
•  One can Cream of mushroom soup
•  Five- six brown potatoes, peeled & cut
• Half a small bag of Baby carrots
• Half an onion

(If you buy prior to cooking night & freeze, make sure to set it our on counter 

to thaw 8-10 hours before you plan on preparing.) 

Prep should be done 12 hours 

before you plan to serve.

1. Mix both gravy & dip mix packets together in a large bowl

2. Add Cream of Mushroom soup to dry mix 

3. Add water to soup/seasoning mixture

4. Stir well

5. Place thawed roast in crock pot fat side up.

6. Pour Soup mixture all over roast 

& into bottom of crock pot

 7. Place Crock pot on LOW & cook for 10 hours.

 

 

6. After 10 hours, add potatoes, carrots, & onions.

7. Continue to cook on low for remaining 2-2.5 hours

You can serve from crock pot, or transfer to a large roasting dish for easier access. (Just pour into dish, flipping roast while transferring.)

Roast will seem to just fall apart while slicing.. this means its good!

 

 Dinner Ideas:

Serve with a nice 

hand made salad, pasta dish, and rolls!

 For easy storing & leftovers:

Cut and peel remaining roast into shreds and leave in gravy with the veggies for a nice Pot Roast Stew!

Enjoy!
